Jack Pillinger and the Gas Company Hole

The Hole, outside John Uren’s the Chemist’s shop in Badminton Road, Downend, opposite the Horseshoe pub became locally infamous. This picture was taken by Mr Uren in the late 1950s. Note there is only one car to be seen. My father (Jack Pillinger, 1902-85) is on the right. It is one of my favourite pictures of him as it in his working clothes. Do you know the names of the other two?
